Windows Task Lock, Version 5.0, 1998
Windows Task Lock provides a simple and inexpensive, but effective
way to password protect specified applications no matter how they
are executed. It is easy to configure and requires little to no
modifications to your current system configuration. Administrator
options are enabled for site licenses.
Installation
To Install Windows Task Lock:
If you used the release that includes the InstallShield installation
program then you have already installed the product correctly. If
not then you must install Task Lock manually. Simply copy the
files sgllock.exe, sgllock.hlp, sglset.exe, lockctrl.exe, scrblnk.exe,
boom.wav, tada.wav, and ding.wav to the Windows directory
(usually c:\windows).
If you would like a release with the installation program, visit
our web page at http://posum.com.
To Configure Windows Task Lock:
To get familiar with Task Lock, it is recommended that you go through
the steps in Q1 of the Questions, Answers, and Examples section of
this help file. After this, start adding the tasks you need for
your particular situation. It is recommended that you add a few
tasks at a time and test them.
Once you are happy with the configuration, place the protection
program, sgllock.exe, in your startup group so that it is executed
whenever Windows 95 or NT starts up or use one of the other methods
detailed in the security section. The best approach is to use the
System Registry Setup function in sglset.exe. Once these steps are
complete, reboot and your system is secure.
To Remove Windows Task Lock:
If for some reason you wish to remove Task Lock from your system
just reverse the steps you took to install it. First make sure
sgllock.exe is not running. Then remove the files you copied to
the Windows directory or from the installation directory specified
during your installation process. Finally, undo the method you
used to get sgllock.exe to execute on Windows startup. This must
be done manually to prevent any security holes.
System Requirements: Windows 95 or NT.

LEGAL STUFF:
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you
are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details --
some request registration while others require it, some specify a
maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the
simple right to continue using the software to an updated program
with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and
the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions
as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just
like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality.
(In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main
difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically
grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all
and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require
written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether
it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting
your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because
the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate
money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay
for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Windows Task-Lock must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Windows Task-Lock is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from
the use of Windows Task-Lock."
Windows Task-Lock is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends,
but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer
users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide
incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you
find this program useful, you must make a registration payment of
$9.95 to Posum L.L.C. The $9.95 registration fee will license one copy
for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software
just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to
another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one
location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be
read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of Windows Task-Lock must register and pay for their
copies of Windows Task-Lock as a site-license. Site licenses are
available at a discount and are handled on a case by case basis.
Anyone distributing Windows Task-Lock for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Posum L.L.C. at the address given for authorization.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Windows Task-Lock along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy
if they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive
a registration number to fully enable the latest version of the Windows
Task-Lock software.
This software may be freely distributed as long as the following
files are all kept together and unmodified and no remuneration is received
by the person or persons distributing said software.
